Ingredients
  

1 small seedless watermelon, cut into rounds

1 cup fresh mint leaves, tightly packed

Juice from 2 limes

2 tablespoons agave syrup or honey (optional, for sweetness)

4 cups sparkling water

1 cup coconut water

1 cup light cranberry juice

Pinch of sea salt

12 small slider buns (mini brioche or whole wheat)

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional, for a savory touch)

1 cucumber, thinly sliced

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Watermelon Rounds: Using a cookie cutter or a sharp knife, cut the watermelon into small rounds that will fit perfectly on the slider buns. If you’re feeling playful, you can also cut out fun shapes like stars or hearts for a festive touch.

    Make the Mint Lime Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the tightly packed mint leaves, freshly squeezed lime juice, and agave syrup or honey (if using). Using the back of a spoon, muddle the mixture gently to release the refreshing oils from the mint. Allow it to sit for about 10 minutes to enhance the flavors.

      Create the Fizz Base: After the mint has infused, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large pitcher to remove the solids. To this fragrant liquid, add the sparkling water, coconut water, light cranberry juice, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir lightly to combine, being careful not to disturb the carbonation.

        Assemble the Sliders: For each slider, place a watermelon round on the bottom half of a slider bun. Top with a slice of cucumber and a sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese for an optional savory element. Cover with the top half of the bun to complete the slider.

          Serve the Mocktail and Sliders: Fill glasses with ice and pour the fizzy Watermelon Fizz over the ice. Garnish each glass with fresh mint leaves for an aromatic finish. Arrange the sliders on a serving platter alongside the mocktails, creating a visually appealing and tasty display.

            Enjoy: Gather your friends or family around and relish this unique combination of sweet and savory flavors. These delightful sliders paired with the refreshing mocktail make for a perfect appetizer or light afternoon treat!
